A water garden can take on many appearances. Some have fountains — others have waterfalls or winding streams. All teem with plant life, fish, frogs, and attract backyard wildlife, including butterflies and birds.
Our goal is to come together to share expertise, experiences, and a love of nature.
We are a non-profit group with a membership in Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut, focused on creating beauty and peace in our own backyards by building and maintaining water gardens.
Welcome to the Pioneer Valley Water Garden & Koi Club
